Ventiva ICE9: Fan-less Laptop Cooling Up to 40W
Ventiva launches ICE9, a fan-less cooling solution for laptops using ionic movement to generate airflow. Supports up to 40W TDP in future designs.
Ventiva has unveiled its innovative ICE9 thermal management system, a completely silent, fan-less cooling solution that uses ionic movement to generate airflow. The company will showcase devices with up to 25W processors at CES in a few days. However, the technology is expected to cool partner laptop designs up to 40W TDP by 2027. How ICE9 Works Ventiva's Ionic Cooling Engine (ICE) technology allows cooling without any moving parts. While not as efficient as a traditional fan, ICE9 is claimed to be significantly more efficient than the Frore AirJet solid-state active cooling system. However, the main benefits of the ICE9 are its silent operation and ultra-compact 12mm profile, making it perfect for thin-and-light laptops. According to Ventiva, the ICE9 can help laptop makers not only build sleek devices but also add additional components (such as Framework's dual M.2 module), as it doesn't require space for fan units. Future Potential Ventiva currently offers ICE9 solutions f…
